Meticulous Care for Electro-pneumatic Pipe Organs since 1987.
Regular Quarterly Maintenance keeps your pipe organ in the best possible condition all twelve months of the year. Two major tunings are scheduled roughly six months apart� one at the start of the Winter Heating Season and a second at the start of the Summer Cooling Season.
Large portions of the organ are frequently �repitched� from season to season to match those sections of the organ that are more pitch-stable. This is especially true when a large portion of the organ�s pipework is exposed in a functional display within the church or when the organ is divided across the Chancel or between the front and rear of the church. Exposed pipework is frequently much cooler (or warmer) than the balance of the instrument (which may also be under expression) resulting in the tuning of the various divisions to �float� from season to season.
Two additional �touch-up� tunings are also scheduled before Christmas and again, before Easter, to keep your pipe organ in its best voice for these important Festival Seasons.
